MindComet RE:treat 2008 is here!
Over the past few weeks, we've been working hard to pull ahead, as well as find time to plan for our yearly MindComet retreat and participate in the pre-trip activities.
Our theme this year is simply RE:treat. What does that mean exactly? It actually means a lot of things:
And as we've come to expect, the location as well as details were shrouded in mystery. However, this year there was a bit of a twist...
In place of the usually "roomies", we were put into teams, and as teams we had to compete to find clues to uncover the location, itinerary, team competition info and even prizes including "steal an office for a day" and "vending machine exclusive - winner's choice".
Competitions were facilitated by a mysterious figure only known to us as "Roundo Elko". He or she tweeted at us, facebooked us, took over the announcement board and all around keps us on our toes for the past couple of weeks.
Yesterday, we came into the office to find "hobo satchels" suspended on sticks with bandannas hidden around the office in our team colors. Inside we found conductors' hats (signifying a long train ride that we are about to embark on) as well as our team shirts, goodies and yet more puzzling information that has yet to explain itself.
So here it is, the big day. We came into the office and had our normal weekly company meeting, which was pleasantly supplemented by scones - courtesy of Andrew Riley's wonderful wife! Among the RE:treat chatter, Marcelle let us know that she purchased two FLIP cameras to let us easily record the trip. Expect video coverage on Cakeplow and the Lowdown before the end of the month!
We're psyched! Roundo, Marcelle and her crew have planned an awesome trip for us as we travel up the east coast aboard the Silver Meteor to a resort in beautiful South Carolina. Unfortunately, I can't share further details, as they are still shrouded in mystery. Look forward to clueing everyone in upon our return!
Miss us!
